Bonnie Jeanne Koski
MusicNursing, 1974-BS in Nursing, 2009-BA in Music
I have retired from a long-time working as a Public Heath Nurse in Humboldt County (28yrs.) I then went back to my alma mater and acheived a BA in music (my 2nd Love) in May, 2009. I'm not doing too much now--recovering from my open heart surgery last July. I really enjoy helping my 2 young granddaughters, ages 5 and 7 with their piano lessons. That's all for now!
